Re: Lower ratio gearbox.

Hi guys. Been a while since I've posted. Had a year off from the sprinting and hillclimbing last year. Well, everybody seems to be wanting to make their cars hit greater top speeds. Well, I'm the opposite. However, I'd like my car to get to 120 mph quicker, although not through brute force. Does any...

Blue Thunder, hi. I have my own pressure tester which I use prior to every event, although I haven't had much time since Collerne. I am hoping that it is just an air pressure issue but just wanted to get some comment from the forum. You know what it's like, somebody will say that code tells you that...

Re: Fault code info.

Hi. As some of you may know, I sprint my S4 in the South. Last time out at Collerne, half way round, I felt that the power was down. It kind of felt 'flat'. Got home and put VAG COM on, and the following showed up: 1 Fault found: 17965 - Charge Pressure Control: Positive deviation P1557 - 35-00 - - ...

Thanks chaps.

I'll have a look.

Have had a hard season of sprints, and maybe something has gone - hopefully not the rack.

Re: B5 S4 Power steering.

Hi, has anybody ever tried to change the power steering hoses on their B5 S4 Avant - 2000 facelift.

One of mine is leaking slightly on the drivers side, and it would be nice to know if I can do this work myself.

Any advice appreciated.

Re: Alarm sounder sounding like guiger-counter !

Hello to all. I've carried out a search in respect of alarms, but I can't seem to find details of my car's symptoms. I now only use the car occassionally, and this evening the boot mounted sounder, (It's an Avant), started sounding. I assumed due to low battery. Unlocked the car, started her up, and...

Hello to all.

Have just received confirmation that HobsonS4 can fabricate one of these for me, but there is one question - are Saloon and Avant back boxes the same size, have the same mounting bracketry etc ?.

Regards,

jfeb, hi. I already have adjustable rear arb links, but all they do is position the bar, not stiffen or loosen it. The only way to stiffen the bar is to drill another link bolt position closer to the front of the car, and there isn't really enough flattened end to the arb to do this comfortably. You...
